Afro-Cuban Ensemble, Francisco Aguabella, Director. The legendary Los-Angeles based Francisco Aguabella (1925-2010) (1992 NEA National Heritage Fellow) was a sacred drummer of the Santeria religion who left Cuba in the 1950s to work with dancer and choreographer Katherine Dunham on the movie "Mambo." He went on to perform with Dizzy Gillespie, Tito Puente, Peggy Lee, Frank Sinatra, Eddie Palmieri, Carlos Santana, the Doors and many others. Aguabella was featured in the documentary "Sworn to the Drum," released in 1995. Jazz legend Dizzy Gillespie said of him, "Aguabella is the John Coltrane of the Conga Drums."

About the Spring Festival of World Music:  Continuing a tradition begun in 1960, the Department of Ethnomusicology draws on its incredible collection of world musical instruments to present its annual Spring Festival of World Music. It's an opportunity for student ensembles to perform and share traditional musics from around the world - including Mexico, India, and West Africa - as they master their instruments. We invite you to journey with us–and experience live–the sound of Venerable Dark Cloud, our Javanese gamelan, as well as the erhu, sitar, tabla, guitarrón, vihuela, 'ud, banjo, concertina, autoharp, atumpan drums, and more!
